TypeError applying precompiled Handlebars templates with a context

Question

TypeError: \'undefined\' is not a functi

Answer 1

The problem for me is that currently (June 2014), the 2.0 release on GitHub is marked alpha https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/releases.

If I install handlebars via bower, it selects the latest stable release. v1.3.0.

npm install handlebars, however, installs the ~2.0.0-alpha.4 version.

Solution: update the version in bower.json to ~2.0.*, and run bower update.
